Hastings Direct has announced it expects to create 200 new jobs this year, after growing by 30% in 2011.
Last year the company tripled its profits, created 400 new jobs and sold a new policy every 41 seconds, making them one of the countries fastest growing insurance retailers.
Amanda Menahem, HR director at Hastings Direct said, “As our business expands, we need to fill roles in all areas from finance to facilities, IT, marketing and our call centres.”
The 200 new jobs will be full-time equivalent, and the company said they would also be interested in hiring part time mums, dads and students for evenings and weekend shifts.
“We are committed to growing our people and continue to invest heavily in staff development; we have doubled our leadership and development programme and will create college leaver and graduate schemes later in the year.”
